A Chicago Tribune editorial referred to Palestinian-American activist and journalist Kat Abughazaleh as a “bomb-throwing” influencer. The dehumanization of Palestinian-American politicians is honestly disgusting, and I REALLY hope Kat sues them for defamation!

Dude literally had Hollywood handed to him on a silver platter, and now he’s doing this bullshit

While none of the recent progressive Congressional winners are 100% perfect, they all share one big thing in common: They actually stand up for what they believe in.

[TW] In the 2006 movie “Black Snake Moan”, Samuel L. Jacks*n plays a man who holds an abused woman hostage against her will, half-naked and chained up. And the movie treats him as the good guy!

I tried to watch this movie the other night, and it was terrible in literally EVERY way! Basically, Samuel L. Jacks*n plays a blues musician who saves an unconscious, half-naked young woman (Played by Christina Ricci) and discovers that she has a severe drug and sexual addiction while nursing her back to health. Once she’s conscious again, he forcibly chains her to a radiator, in nothing but her underwear, and she literally forms a Stockholm Syndrome “friendship” with him. In the end, his character Lazarus is seen as a “good guy”. On top of all that, this film addresses addiction and mental health in the most tone-deaf way possible. It’s extremely misogynist and bizarre in every way. This film aged HORRIBLY, and I honestly have no idea how this was even greenlit!

Centrist Dems will literally do this corny shit, but they don’t even have the spine to call what’s happening in Gaza a “genocide”.

This track from the “Bird” movie soundtrack is SO beautiful, and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t find it anywhere! 😭

This is probably a LONG shot, but does anyone know the name of this track?

For context: It’s in the scenes where Bailey, her siblings, and Bird visit the beach, and when Bird saves Bailey and her siblings from their stepfather. The harpsichords on this track are stunning, and everything about it is so dreamlike and hypnotic!

I’m a newer fan to Burial’s music, so I’m not sure if he publicly releases all of his music, or if this track is solely just for the film’s soundtrack. I tried looking for it everywhere, but I literally can’t find any info about this track anywhere!

I couldn’t upload a video directly, which is why I had to make a Dropbox link. I’m not sure if Dropbox links are allowed here, so the mods can delete this post if they aren’t.
